Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and to a kit for detecting biofilms, compatible with the food industry.
  • Hygiene is becoming increasingly important in the food industry, in hospitals, in water purification and desalination installations, in the treatment of process water, and in particular in water used in cooling towers and in the necessities of everyday life, for example contact lenses. It is frequently observed that, during the circulation of water or substances rich in nutrient material on a support, microorganisms circulating freely in the water or in the nutrient material can adhere to the surface. These microorganisms can then develop an adhesive extracellular matrix composed of polymeric substances.
  • Biofilms A community of microorganisms adhered to a surface and embedded in such a matrix is called a biofilm. Usually these biofilms are composed of bacteria and organic polymers produced by them. Biofilms are now developing on all types of support such as food conveyor belts in the food industry, on supports intended to maintain a nutrient substance or in any case organic for any step such as for example the hooks of keeping meat and the like. Biofilms also develop on the worktops of the horeca, on cleaning installations such as drainers, taps, splashbacks, dishwashers, etc.
  • biofilms are also observed in medical facilities such as operating theaters and others.
  • medical devices where liquid phases are present (body fluids, aqueous phase for cleaning after use, etc.).
  • biofilms such as the paper industry, the sludge treatment industry and any other industry in which plant or organic solids are digested in the presence of water or water. a similar aqueous solution.
  • this matrix is very resistant, and can constitute a barrier for agents which would act against microorganisms.
  • Conventional treatments based on sodium hydroxide and / or comprising different biocides do not act in a sufficiently efficient manner because they do not penetrate the biofilm over its entire thickness or are inhibited by certain molecules making up this matrix. The treatment is then only partially effective on the upper surface of the biofilm. In addition, the latter can also trap other microorganisms, pathogens in particular, than that which was installed initially. Therefore, a simple cleaning of the installations is generally not sufficient and requires a more specific treatment of the areas contaminated by biofilms.
  • biofilms Unfortunately, the specific treatments of biofilms are more restrictive than a simple conventional cleaning step and therefore require that the contaminated areas be easily identified. If in some cases, said extracellular matrix is easily identified when it is highly developed, in other cases, the biofilm develops insidiously in the installations and its presence is only detected during the analysis of the quality of the product. finished.
  • Biofilms are inevitably formed (in view of the richness of the surrounding environment).
  • Biofilms exhibit cyclic growth activity including a growth phase lasting which occurs the accumulation of microorganisms and a detachment phase during which entire pieces of biofilms are detached by erosion and under the effect of their own weight.
  • a growth phase lasting which occurs the accumulation of microorganisms
  • a detachment phase during which entire pieces of biofilms are detached by erosion and under the effect of their own weight.
  • this type of detection makes it possible to know that a biofilm is present somewhere, but does not make it possible to locate it precisely.
  • the production is not stopped and when the biofilm is in the breaking phase, the produced batches are contaminated and discarded until the level of contamination by the microorganisms of the food produced is again acceptable in the market. in view of the standards in force.
  • the document JP 2005210997 discloses a coloring composition for detecting biofilms in the food industry containing rice red (monascin) which is sprayed onto surfaces likely to contain biofilms.
  • This composition comprises 92% water, 4% dye and 4% ethanol. Although compatible with the food industry, this composition requires a high dye content, is not very compatible with an alkaline medium (used to sanitize installations in a conventional manner) and has a color that is difficult to observe (probably justifying the high dye content).
  • the document EP 1491505 discloses for its part a method for measuring the formation of biofilm in aqueous systems. This method includes a first step of placing sample coupons in the aqueous system. It is then necessary to wait for a biofilm to develop before recovering the coupons. The coupons are then stained with a dye, rinsed and analyzed by photometry or by comparison with a calibration card.
  • the detection method according to this document has several drawbacks, in particular the fact that it reveals certain uncertainties and that it is really long. Indeed, the placement of coupons must be carried out in areas in which the presence of biofilms is suspected (suggesting that they have already been detected before) and wait for the development of the latter. Although the bacteria are fast growing, it is by no means excluded that a biofilm will not grow on the coupon while the facility is covered with biofilms or the time during which the coupons are placed in the installation is not adequate for a biofilm to grow on the coupon. Bacteria always exhibiting a higher affinity for the extracellular matrix already formed on the installation to be treated than for the smooth surface of the sample coupon.
  • the coupons are rinsed with azide to eliminate bacterial growth.
  • the staining solution may be an aqueous solution of safranin, coomassie blue, crystal violet, ruthenium red, or erythionine.
  • the rinsing solution is a solution containing azide and the coupons are finally washed with DMSO after drying.
  • the aim of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a method and a kit for detecting biofilms making it possible to detect on any type of surface the presence of biofilms, which are particularly versatile, that is to say. say usable for any type of application, including in the food industry where from a health point of view, biofilms must be detected quickly and precisely and efficiently, that is to say where the detection of false negative and false positive is limited or nonexistent.
  • the dye dilution phase is compatible with any type of application, but also with the food industry, which allows it to be applied in all types of industrial installations and the dye used is easily available on the market and particularly visible.
  • the combination of the staining solution according to the invention and the cleaning solution makes it possible to reduce the detection of false positives and improves the selectivity of the detection with respect to existing detections.
  • the polysaccharides of bacteria may not be detected since the bacteria are confined in this polymer matrix and therefore are not accessible for staining. , especially if the dye has a short dwell time.
  • the kit according to the invention has a speed of detection and a very advantageous specificity because it targets the glycoproteins of the extracellular matrix of the biofilm and therefore reduces the presence of false negatives or false positives and targets the glycoproteins. very accessible by the dye and not very present in food or other residues. The biofilm is therefore quickly and selectively detected.
  • the detection kit according to the invention simply comprises a first staining solution to be sprayed and a cleaning solution to be sprayed subsequently, the dwell times of which are short (less than 15 minutes). This means that generally, in less than an hour, preferably in less than half an hour, the biofilms are detected and located precisely.
  • the practical aspect of the kit according to the invention is particularly advantageous in that it does not require an expensive installation to detect the biofilm, the user's eye is sufficient, which is due to the particular choice of the dye, easily identifiable with the naked eye, different from the colors generally found in all types of industries dealing with plant or organic matter (few blue foods, unlike red). A simple spraying of the first solution followed by the second is sufficient.
  • the detection kit according to the invention further comprises a bleaching composition, compatible with the food industry, which then makes it possible to remove the blue color from the installation if necessary.
  • a bleaching composition compatible with the food industry, which then makes it possible to remove the blue color from the installation if necessary.

  • the blue color of the biofilm is of course eliminated with the biofilm.
  • said bleaching composition is a solid phase of an oxidizing agent which can therefore simply be spread over the treated area, preferably wetted beforehand to promote activation of the oxidizing agent in water.

  • said bleaching composition is an aqueous solution of an oxidizing agent, which allows it to be easily applied to the area to be treated by simple spraying, especially when it is vertical.

  • this dilution phase only comprises substances that are ingestible and compatible with the food industry, which can be easily obtained and inexpensively.
  • the method according to the present invention is fast, inexpensive in terms of time and equipment to use, efficient by its selectivity and its speed of detection and compatible with the food industry, therefore versatile for all types of food. industry.
  • one or more of the steps chosen from the group of the step of vaporization of said coloring solution, of vaporization of said cleaning solution and of detection of said biofilm is preceded by a step of rinsing with water, which makes it possible to eliminate the surplus of dye, on the zone to be treated or diluted in the cleaning solution, which makes it possible to improve the selectivity of the method for detecting biofilms according to the invention.
  • the method further comprises a bleaching step said residual areas stained with coomassie blue by application of a bleaching composition.
  • said bleaching step is carried out by applying a solid bleaching composition, in particular a pulverulent composition of an oxidizing agent, to the surface to be treated which is wet beforehand to promote activation of the oxidizing agent.
  • a solid bleaching composition in particular a pulverulent composition of an oxidizing agent
  • said bleaching step is carried out by applying a liquid bleaching composition of an oxidizing agent.
  • said predetermined period of time is between 3 and 15 minutes, preferably between 4 and 10 minutes and is generally about 5 minutes. This of course makes it possible to rapidly detect the biofilm, but also reflects the efficiency of the method according to the invention which can be implemented rapidly and its selectivity (the substance to be detected is actually targeted and quickly detected).
  • said surface liable to be contaminated by a biofilm is an open surface of an installation, in particular of an installation in the food industry. It is in fact preferable that the surface on which a biofilm is to be detected by the method according to the invention is a surface visible to the eye, this is what is generally called an open surface.
  • the method according to the invention can also be applied to surfaces that are less accessible or not visible, but they will undoubtedly have to be dismantled for the detection step, for example, tubes can be treated, for example by circulation. , but they will most likely need to be opened to detect the result.
